I just stared dumbly at him. He said, old time radio "Look," and flipped a switch on a small metal box old time radio he was carrying. It immediately started clicking and a gauge on the metal box swung wildly. He shut if off and looked at me again for a moment. I stared impassively back; his words and his clicking metal box didn't really mean anything to me. "The ventilation system is operating backwards," he said. "Air is being pulled in the outflow raises, and is exhausting up this shaft."

| It's free! Save it. In 1976, as a young man trying to make a living by market gardening beddoes on reserve in the north Okanagan, I went north for the winter months to work underground at Echo Bay (formerly Eldorado) Mines at Port Radium. All of the uranium had been mined by 1960, but the mine beddoes had just beddoes been drained and reopened to go after the silver deposits. I got an entry-level job as a deckman, part of the hoistman/cagetender/deckman trio who "skipped muck"--the process of bringing the ore from underground to surface. It wasn't long before the cagetender went AWOL, and I was promoted to riding the cage up and down the mineshaft--still skipping muck, but now also transferring men and equipment from surface to underground and, hopefully, back up again. Toward the end of the winter, a university student studying engineering or some such thing came underground for a couple of weeks to study the mine's ventilation system. On his last shift, as we rode up the 800 feet from the bottom of the mine shaft to the surface, he suddenly turned to me with a funny look on his face and said: "Did you know that this mine shaft is highly radioactive?" |
